It is drought tolerant, requiring full sun and well-drained soil, and attracts pollinators like hummingbirds. It makes a good choice for hot, dry gardens as a border plant, in rock gardens, or to attract wildlife.
Mentha arvensis, commonly known as wild mint or field mint, is a species of mint that grows wild in fields and other grassy areas in much of Europe, Asia, North America, and North Africa. It is a perennial herbaceous plant that grows from a creeping rhizome system and produces pink or white flowers and aromatic leaves that have a minty scent similar to cultivated mint varieties. The leaves and flowering tops are sometimes used fresh or dried as a culinary herb to flavor foods and beverages.
Wild mint is a perennial herb that spreads via rhizomes to form large colonies. It has bright green, crinkled leaves with a strong mint scent and tiny white to pink bell-shaped flowers. Wild mint grows well in moist areas at higher elevations and spreads easily, so it is best grown in containers. It can be used to make tea or flavor cooking and repels insects. Bees and butterflies are attracted to its nectar and it provides good habitat for birds. Wild mint requires full sun, tolerates a range of soil pH, and regular watering.
